This article considers the relationships between population religiosity and the coronavirus pandemic situation across different countries. Country-level analyses were based on data from the World Values Survey, Worldometer, and International Monetary Fund covering information about internal (beliefs) and external (practices) religiosity, religious fundamentalism, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the economic situation at two time points in 47 countries. Results showed that declared attendance at religious services is related to more COVID-19 infections and deaths, as well as when controlling for gross domestic product per capita and the number of coronavirus tests per 1 million population. This effect remained in the longitudinal perspective (of six months) and extended from external religiosity only, to both internal and external religiosity indices.
本文探讨了不同国家人口宗教信仰与冠状病毒疫情之间的关系。基于世界价值观调查、世界实时统计数据和国际货币基金组织的数据，对各国进行了分析，这些数据涵盖了内部（信仰）和外部（实践）宗教信仰、宗教原教旨主义、COVID-19 大流行以及 47 个国家在两个时间点的经济状况等信息。结果表明，宣称参加宗教仪式与更多的 COVID-19 感染和死亡有关，即使在控制人均国内生产总值和每百万人冠状病毒检测数量后也是如此。这种影响在纵向视角（六个月）中仍然存在，并从外部宗教信仰扩展到内部和外部宗教信仰指数。
